Liberation: A List

Things I find liberating.

1) Skinny dipping when there is no moon and therefore no one can see you naked in public.

2) Camping.

3) Not procrastinating homework.

4) Listening to Matchbox Twenty's song "Mad Season" over and over.

5) Sleeping outside under the stars.

6) Camping because you are supposed to wear comfy clothes and have your hair in a ponytail.

7) Hiking

8) Sewing

9) Being cut off from technology.

10) Hanging out with people who know me really well so that when I am myself I don't feel like a complete idiot.

11) Talking to my #3 brother on the phone because he laughs.

12) Deep cleaning the house.

I have been told that I need to relax more. Not sure how to make the time to do that. What do you find liberating? Any suggestions on how to relax?

Words to "Mad Season"

I feel stupid - but I know it won't last for long
I've been guessing - I coulda been guessin' wrong
You don't know me now
I kinda thought that you should somehow
Does that whole mad season got ya down?

I feel stupid but it's something that comes and goes
I've been changin' - think it's funny how now one knows
We don't talk about - the little things that we do without
When that whole mad season comes around

So why ya gotta stand there
Looking like the answer now?
It seems to me - you'd come around
I need you now
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - I'm lost and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken - though I've never spoken
I come undone - in this mad season

I feel stupid - but I think I been catchin' on
I feel ugly - but I know I still turn you on
You've grown colder now, torn apart, angry, turned around
Will that whole mad season knock you down?

So are you gonna stand there?
Are you gonna help me out?
You need to be together now - I need you now
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - I'm lost and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken - though I've never spoken
I come undone - in this mad season

Now I'm cryin' - isn't that what you want
I'm tryin' to live my life on my own
But I won't
At times - I do believe I am strong
So someone tell me why, why, why
Do I, I, I feel stupid?!
And I came undone
And I came undone

I need you now
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - I'm lost and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken - though I've never spoken

I need you now
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - I'm a child and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken - though I've never spoken
I come undone - in this mad season

In this mad season
There's been a mad season
Been a mad season
